Well, that was unexpected.
After not wanting to write anything for a really long time, I suddenly find myself thinking about writing a hockey story where Patrick Kane gets traded, and Toews pines at the Blackhawks while Kane flourishes at his new team and rehabilitates his image.
Realistically, given recent years, I'm not going to write it. But damn, I really, really want to read it.
With respect to other sports, my weekends are full of football at the moment. I've rediscovered my love for the Swans (especially former player Justin Kirk who these days spends time looking pretty on the sidelines and being adorable on twitter, and Adam Goodes, who just seems like an amazing guy in general), and I'm still enjoying the rugby (especially the test matches).
Of course football players continue to be terrible. And this satirical opinion piece about football players and women is just brilliant. A few choice quotes include:
I realise it’s a fine line, and not always easy to discern in the heat of the moment, when you’re out with friends and having fun and feel the need to punch someone, but there are proprieties to observe.
But these are modern times, and as unfair as it is to treat footballers like normal human men, that seems to be what “society” demands.
Because we just have to face the facts: women and footballers don’t mix. They’re like oil and water, if oil had fists, and water had breasts and if oil found it confusing every time it met some water that didn’t want to have sex with it.
My footballing brothers, it’s time to take a deep breath and sign up to the new motto: Women - Just Say No.
